Tennis star Wozniacki plans marathon run

NEW YORK — Tennis star Caroline Wozniacki plans to play a full tournament schedule this fall while fitting in time to train for the New York City Marathon.

The former No. 1 player said Thursday that she long had wanted to do a marathon and decided before Wimbledon that she could pull it off this year.

The 24-year-old Dane says the longest she's ever run is 10 kilometers — less than a quarter of a marathon. "People ask me, 'Why don't you just run a 5K or 10K?' I'm like, 'Well, I do that all the time, so it wouldn't really be a challenge,'" she said. "This is really something I need to put my mind to."
